thelaurasaurus's review against another edition

A really interesting look at the psychological effects of WWI on soldiers. I put off reading this for a long time as I assumed it would be gloomy, but it really wasn't. It was just very, very moving. Aside from learning about the war in school, it's an era I know little about, and the similarities and differences from modern society were particularly interesting.
